Recalling that on March 5, 1946 the long-cherished desire of the Korean peasants to cultivate their own farmland came true, thanks to benevolence of President Kim Il Sung, Rodong Sinmun says in an editorial that day was a historic day of great significance in resolving the rural question in our country.

The successful agrarian reform got rid of the feudal land ownership completely and heralded the start of Korean-style rural construction and development, the editorial notes, adding:

The rural construction, which began with the agrarian reform, has greeted an era of a historic turn under the wise guidance of the respected General Secretary Kim Jong Un.

At the 4th Plenary Meeting of the 8th Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, the respected General Secretary opened up bright prospects and blueprint for the solution of the socialist rural question in the new century.

The new programme on socialist rural construction is the development in depth of the great Theses on the Socialist Rural Question. It is necessary to successfully transform all rural villages into rich and highly-civilized, ideal ones under socialism in order to preserve and add luster to the exploits performed by President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il for socialist rural construction.

When we put the agriculture of the country on a stage of sure development and bring about an upsurge in our style socialist rural development by stepping up the rural revolution for development, we can turn our country associated with the exploits of the President and the Chairman into a paradise for the people.

Saying March 5 76 years ago was a historic day that witnessed a radical turn in the destiny of the Korean farmers, Minju Joson stresses that the dignity, honor, pride and confidence of the agricultural workers of the DPRK would be unthinkable apart from the guidance of the great leaders and the great Party.
